Unhappy Idle problems

Does anyone know what's wrong with a 2001 sport trac that idles rough and dies only when it's warm? Higher rpm runs ok. 99000 miles 4.0L sohc. Just replaced egr valve for check eng light. Checked and inspected IAC valve-good volts to, resistance at, is clean and seems to work fine. MAF sensor seems clean. If it's a vacuum leak somewhere, how do you check for it? If it's intake manifold gasket, is it easy to replace? Thanks for any help. Jacob1600

Vacume leaks are easy to check for, get a can of WD40 or Starting fluid. With the motor running, spray around hoses and gaskets, if the motor revs up you have found your leak.
